The white clone did not continue to ask questions. He unknowingly raised his hands, raised his head, and looked at the starry sky above his head. Various complex thoughts flashed through his eyes, and finally they all turned into a long sigh and whispered softly:
"It was successful the first time. It was really unexpected..."
After answering the three inexplicable questions, Naruto noticed the melancholy on the white clone's face. He was a little confused, so he simply rolled his eyes and decided to change the topic.
"Bai, when you came to the Loulan ruins, did you also accept the commission from Shayin Village to hunt down the traitorous Ninja Baizu?"
"Centipod? Who is that?"
How could the white clone remember such a small role? He shook his head casually, waved his hand to Naruto and Sakura, and said casually: "Go ahead and do what you are supposed to do, I want to take a rest."
Having said that, he sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and tried to establish an information connection with the body through the fuzzy induction between coordinates. It should not be difficult to do this as he has some quantum state abilities in his body.
Just after constructing the paradox engine, he accidentally traveled to other parallel time and space. Although this was a bit beyond expectations, it was undoubtedly a good thing. At least it proved that Alaya's plan was correct.
Looking at the white clone sitting with his eyes closed, Naruto unconsciously curled his lips and scratched his face with his fingers. A feeling of being ignored came to his heart, mixed with the tone of the white clone like an adult talking to a child, and his mood suddenly changed.
Very unhappy.
"Hey... I mean, you're obviously not much older than me, right?"
"Why are you pretending to be an adult?"
Sakura calmly pulled Naruto over and glared at him fiercely. The latter immediately shuddered and quickly closed his mouth. Fortunately, the white clone did not have the same experience as a child and did not open his eyes at all.
Next, under Sakura's forceful tug, the Naruto duo quickly moved away from the white clone. Until her figure disappeared from the end of the field of vision, Sakura let out a long sigh of relief.
"Naruto, don't you think it's weird?"
Finding that Sakura's face was very serious, Naruto calmed down, frowned and thought about it, and said hesitantly: "It's a bit strange. Although Shiro was once our enemy, she gave me the impression that she is very gentle and considerate.
of."
"Just like...a big sister next door."
As he said that, Naruto paused, and while looking at the direction of Bai's clone, he whispered to himself: "But now, the cold and gloomy aura on Bai's body is almost overflowing, that feeling...
…”
"It's like a completely different person."
"Besides, I hate it."
Sakura nodded silently, agreeing with Naruto's point of view. The guy was not so much Shiro, but a monster with Shiro's body, and it made her feel... extremely scary and extremely dangerous.
Observing the other person carefully, as if staring into the abyss, Sakura, with her keen intuition, quickly sensed that something was wrong, and the hairs all over her body were like needles. This was the fundamental reason why she pulled Naruto away as soon as possible.
As for Bai Suishui's unfathomable strength...
"What kind of encounter can make a person change so much?" Sakura frowned and pondered, pursed her lips, and looked puzzled, while Naruto focused on another aspect:
"Sakura, what is the reason why Bai appears here?"
"She's a rebellious ninja, so she's not really here to hunt down Baizu, right?"
Sakura didn't know why. Although rebel ninjas sometimes killed each other to collect bounties, she intuitively felt that Bai's purpose was not that simple. After a discussion with no results, she gave up the topic.
"What should we do now? Do we still want to continue the mission?"
This time, the task of hunting down the traitorous ninja was entrusted by the Hidden Village of Nosago. Naruto was reluctant to give up. Although Shiro's sudden appearance added many variables, in his opinion, it was not a big deal.
After all, Bai didn't show any hostility and seemed very honest.
"Go back to the village as soon as possible and report this situation to Lord Godai." Contrary to Naruto, Sakura chose to give up the mission without hesitation, her tone was firm and categorical, leaving no room for doubt.
Although Naruto repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction and bluntly said that Sakura was making a fuss out of a molehill, Sakura was very determined this time and refused to allow Naruto to stay at all. She even stated clearly that "if you continue the mission, your life may be in danger."
Women's intuition is often very keen. Sakura realized that Shiro's appearance was by no means a trivial matter and was much more important than the current task, so without saying a word, she directly dragged Naruto to retreat.
Sakura was the captain, and Naruto had no choice but to obey. The Centipede mission was so obsolete, and the plot of the Lost Tower that would have happened decades ago also disappeared with it.
The white clone had no idea that just a small reveal of her hand would trigger a series of changes in the plot. Of course, she wouldn't care about it. After all, there are more important things at the moment...
'Self, can you hear my voice?'
The eyes emitted hazy gray light, and the sight penetrated the four-dimensional world and spanned countless time and space. With the help of coordinates and quantum connections, the white clone sensed Lei Luo's existence and directly transmitted a message.
"Um?"
Realizing the female voice ringing in his mind, Lei Luo raised his head and threw the body of Drought aside without even looking far away. He was slumped on the ground, staring at his fierce battle in horror, and silently said in his heart:
'Where are you now?'
After a while, the voice came again: 'I succeeded.'
The two are originally one body. Although the white clone didn't say it clearly, Lei Luo still understood what she meant. A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. The white clone was in parallel time and space at the moment? Was Alaya wrong in his judgment?
Just as he thought of Alaya, Alaya's voice rang out:
'Is there news from the white clone? Where is she?'
Alaya joined the group chat. The white clone noticed her and sent a message to briefly report the situation. However, when Alaya tried to communicate with the white clone, the message failed to be sent.
"I still can't interfere with different time and space? Then..." Alaya's face was a little unhappy, but he didn't complain about anything. He pursed his lips and turned around to send a message to Lei Luo, asking him to forward it to Lei Luo on his behalf.
White clone.
After a series of information transfers, Lei Luo became a transit point this time.
The three parties are all in the Loulan ruins, but in different time and space. Among them, Lei Luo and Alaya are both on the same timeline, but they are fifty or sixty years apart. Only Bai's clone is on another timeline.
Although Alaya can contact Lei Luo, with her power, she cannot interfere with other parallel time and space. Therefore, if she has any words, Lei Luo can only convey them, while the white clone has unimpeded access and can speak to whomever she wants.
.
In order to easily distinguish the positions of the parties, the timeline where Lei Luo and Alaya are located is collectively called the α world line. Lei Luo is at node A, Alaya is at node B, and the white clone is on the β world line. There is no distinction.
